Harnessing the power of dragon hearts in Elden Ring can make for a formidable build. The Dragon Knight is a flavorful, damage-dealing way to take on The Lands Between, but it requires some late-game grinding. So, let’s spread our wings.
Marai's Dragon Knight can destroy everything in one go in Elden Ring PVP
The Dragon Knight in Elden Ring primarily uses Dragon Communion Incantations to deal a lot of damage over time. However, he should have enough physical stats to wield powerful weapons like Colossal Swords. Start the game as a Wretch since you want all stats except Intelligence. The build below is at level 150.
These stats are all over the place compared to most builds, but they serve a purpose. An Arcane of 60 will give you good scaling with the Dragon Communion Seal, a powerful spellcasting tool for boosting Dragon Communion Incantations. A Dragon Knight will want to have the minimum Faith to cast these spells, and unfortunately Greyoll's Roar is the cheapest at 28.
A 50 Vigor is for eating hits, which is great for late-game Elden Ring. A 26 Endurance is for better armor—what good is a knight if he can’t wear good gear? At 26, you’ll need some Talismans to wear heavy armor—a sacrifice we’re willing to make. A 25 Mind gives you 147 FP, which is fine. You can cast a few Breaths before reloading, depending on how long you can cast them during combat.
